ERROR CORRECTION PROCESS AND MECHANISM

摘要

Performing soft error correction includes receiving a word at a soft correction engine (310a, 310b) capable of operating in more than one correction mode, identifying soft bit positions within the word, and automatically generating a number of possible results (370) for the received word using combinations of the soft bit positions and more than one correction mode. The soft correction engine (310a, 310b) may include a Golay engine.
